Susan Sun, the owner of the defunct OPM luxe women’s boutique in St. Louis Park, is back.

She recently opened Equation at the Shops at 50th and France in Edina.

This time, Sun has brought in a new business partner and made tweaks to her original boutique concept.

The new shop still carries luxe apparel and popular brands that OPM was known for, such as Smythe jackets, Rails shirts and Current/Elliott jeans. But Sun also has added a home-accessories department and gift items.

Sun closed OPM in March 2014. She says she wanted to be in a more boutique-heavy area, and had been searching for a new spot ever since.

“We had a clientele, but we need to reach out to new people, too,” she said.
